    Hi all, Just wondering if someone can recommend a good mobile for my mam who is 79 and is currently in hospital. She currently has a Dora 6030. A quick google search shows it came out in 2015. I was thinking of getting her the newer model 2024 but to be honest cant see any difference between the two. My biggest gripe with the 6030 is the volume button is on the sides and when my mam answers shes constantly putting her finger on it and turning the volume down and then cant hear. No matter how many times I say it to her...

    Smart phone is no use as she wouldnt be able to use it so

    Need a phone with buttons

    Good sound so she can hear

    good screen so she can see

    She cant send texts so just need a phone easy to use for calls with buttons. Be handy to stick with a Dora if there is better models available

    I have her on the 48 network too Regards

    B
